Description

The 10th edition of Soares Book on Grounding and Bonding covers complex topics from every angle!

Why get your information piecemeal, when you can see design, engineering, installation and enforcement perspectives dovetail together in this one book? Soares Book on Grounding and Bonding is the only book on the market that helps you see all the perspectives before you do the job.

Meticulously updated to the 2008 National Electrical Code, this 10th edition authoritatively reviews each topic from the perspectives of the enforcers. That's like having a free pass handed to you.

The work accomplished by the NEC Grounding and Bonding Task Group has resulted in language that is more prescriptive and a streamlined approach to application and terminology.

Another revision relates to the technical requirements for concrete-encased electrodes, where a vertically positioned concrete-encased electrode can be considered.

The grounding and bonding requirements for second buildings or structures supplied from another building by feeders and branch-circuits have been revised.

An intersystem bonding termination means that includes provisions for connecting at least three grounding or bonding conductors required for communications systems by Chapter 8 is required.

Grounding and bonding requirements for permanently installed generators are clarified. In accordance with IAEI's hallmark of systematic explanations, detailed illustrations and photos of actual installations enhance each topic. Seldom do design, engineering, installation and enforcement perspectives come together in one book, especially on the controversial topics of grounding and bonding. This, however, is exactly what IAEI has achieved with this edition of Soares Book on Grounding and Bonding.

Design, engineering, installation, and enforcement perspectives for grounding and bonding come together in this unique, hands-on electrical reference from the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI).

Updated and revised based on the 2008 National Electrical Code, Soares Book on Grounding and Bonding uses text and visuals to address every issue, including:

The grounding electrode - its definition and the requirements that emphasize functionality.
Static protection through grounding and bonding.
Revisions to grounding requirements for separately derived systems, IT systems, and limited energy systems.

Soares Book on Grounding and Bonding includes IAEI's hallmark step-by-step explanations, detailed illustrations, and photographs of actual installations. Make sure you know the full story on grounding - before starting the job.
